I can't wait, I have an S3 and the port too but I've wanted the air manager since I BOUGHT THE THING 2 YEARS AGO

Thank you @davidewen! I have always prayed that ultimaker would fix this problem for printers like our creality who might have an aftermarket hotend that can print other materials (almost everyone does) but they never fixed it so I was always making my materials listed as pla but saved as something else (SO annoying) glad someone has tinkered enough to find the workaround. I'll be making a new printer right now.

I had a very mild squeak, on one of my x pulleys, I couldn't isolate the location any closer than the back right corner. To dig deeper I started touching the belts pushing or pulling to try to align them to the center of the pulleys and see what caused the squeak to go away, nothing worked so I assumed it was right at the stepper motor. I loosened all screws and took the belt off the motor and right under the stepper motors pulley was some black dust, which I presumed to be from the rubbing belt. I simply blew the dust and reinstalled the motor as best positioned as possible with a tight belt and the squeak went away.

I use a U3S with Ultimaker Cura 4.11 and firmware 6.5.1 and I thought that this problem was fixed with one of the previous firmware updates but up until just recently I noticed it hasnt. My problem is when my printer finishes a print it stops extruding and raises about 3 mm away from the print and sits there (I assume the printer is waiting for the bed to cool down or the nozzle too) then just before the bed lowers and the screen asks me to confirm removal, the extruder pulls filament like an inch back from the nozzle and stops. When I go to print my next print following that the filament is so far back from the nozzle the prime blob attempts to work but the filament is so far away from the nozzle it doesn't even work and it starts printing air. The only time I have had luck with this is if I load filament, allow it to flow smoothly, confirm the filament is flowing smoothly, then print immediately after. I think this could be a bug or possibly just a fix to a setting but if anyone knows why this is happening please comment. Additionally my current workaround is to loosen the lock on the extruder and force the filament back into the nozzle by hand before each print, then the prime blob gets way too big and becomes a mess.

I designed a four core stand that can store the cores hot without touching anything. I printed it on its back and it came out perfect. Heres the stl. if you want it U3SCore_Stand.stl

Hi @SandervG, I have found the root to my problem, it turns out that in order to sync your profiles, your printer and PC must be connected to the same local network, my problem was that my pc was connected via ethernet cable to the network extender and the printer was connected via wifi to the extender. I did end up doing a factory reset to remove the old profiles and once I was connected to the same "local" network via wifi with my printer and PC, all of my current filament profiles which were not on the printer after the reset were recognized and synced as soon as I logged in. Thank you for all your help.

I am having trouble with my US3 detecting all of my 3rd party filaments that are saved in cura and syncing them. I have four Gizmo Dorks PETG profiles that I added by duplicating the Generic CPE profile. There is four colors and only 2 of them show up when I go to select the filament to load into my machine. When I went to print with Gizmo Dorks Blue set in cura the printer said I needed to change my settings to Gizmo Dorks Red to continue.?? I'm not sure how to sync the profiles or get the printer to understand that blue is not red.

I'm running a windows 10 PC with Ultimaker Cura 4.10.0 and I have upgraded and chosen to save all of my configuration files. Currently I have two folders in my program files folder and both with files in them. Is it safe to say that I'm going to need to keep the folder Ultimaker Cura 4.9.1 so I don't loose my configuration files or is that removeable? It almost seems like the uninstall of the 4.9.1 version didn't remove the folder. I've included a picture to refer to what I have on my PC.

**PROBLEM SOLVED** OVEREXTRUSION I just tried one more test print with the same object file from Autodesk Fusion 360 and used medium refinement to convert to Cura. Within Cura I used all the same settings for Generic CPE accept for the Initial Layer Flow. After analyzing the bottom of the prints and creases on them I noticed that it looked a lot like too much filament was flowing with nowhere to go but on top of itself (causing creases) so I lowered the Initial Layer Flow from 100% down to 75% and yielded these results shown in this picture with clear PETG. This is my first test with successful results although I think by the smooth surface of the bottom of the print and filled lines with no gaps that I hit it right on the nose.

I have done over 21 different test prints consecutively changing only one factor at a time to see what changes were made to the print when putting down the first layer. Moving the print to a new location on the print bed didn't remove the problem, it just continued to crease in the same direction (in accordance with the bed) as the previous times. When flipping the glass build-plate over the creases were identical. The bed was always cleaned with soap and water and dried before each test. I then started to change settings such as initial layer flow, initial layer line width, initial layer height, nozzle temperature, and initial layer print speed, one at a time, which none of those settings made any change to the way the creases were occurring on every print, pointing in the same directions each time. I even went all the way back to where the file came from at Fusion 360 and imported the file again, although this time I selected under the "refinement" High quality instead of medium. I then used all the unmodified settings for the filament I was using and printed a test print first layer at .3mm initial layer height and it almost solved the problem though it seemed like the filament was too far from the bed (not good adhesion). If you are having this problem and are using Fusion 360 I recommend leaving any comments for assistance in solving this problem. I am still printing with the creases. Also FYI this isn't just my UM3S that it does this, it also happens with my Ender 3 Pro on large flat first layers that require alot of base skin. The picture included is the effect on my Ender 3 Pro

I have an UM3S and am using Cura 4.8.0 I am attempting to print an imported file from Autodesk Fusion 360. I am using Generic CPE settings with a 3rd party filament. My only problem is that when the printer is printing the first layer a skip or studder or something of that nature happens along the same line across the skin of the first layer creating an imperfection or seam all the way across it when there should just be straight lines. I have included photos to show how the filament creates this seam when it should be printing a straight line all the way across. It does not heavily affect the print but I would like to know if anyone has seen this type of nature before or if there is a resolution to it. Picture one and two are from the under the bed looking up and picture three is from above the bed looking down with an arrow of where the crease starts. I am guessing this is in relation to the slicer because that is what tells the printer to make these specific lines or possibly the printer but I hope not. I forgot to mention that I have attempted to move the print to a new location of the print bed to see if it had anything to do with auto leveling but it made the crease again in the exact same place as the first time. Any comments welcome Upper_Crossbrace.3mf

Thats not what my printer told me. Turn the thumbs screw until the nozzle is 1mm away from the bed, then further adjust it with the calibration card. Worked for me, good luck.

Yes, I have found that tightening all 3 bed screws until your fingers want to snap so the bed is very low. Then do manual leveling in maintenance and carefully follow instructions only touching what it tells you to touch (ie thumbs crew, or contols) what helped me is I printed a 1mm credit card with a small handle to use as a spacer for the exact 1mm needed, this solved my active leveling problem hope it does for you too.

I have just purchased the Ultimaker S3 and am very interested in an Ultimaker air manager for it. I am aware of the two enclosures available on the internet now though I think that I would want Ultimakers brand.
